mamiya/sekor lens quistions Hello, it's been a while, but I am back with a quick quistion. I picked up a mamiya/sekor 528TL SLR with a fixed 48mm lens. Now, these cameras came with auxiliary lenses. The one that I bought came with a Vivitar Wideangled lens. Now, what I want to know is, will this wideangle lens still give me the "fishbowl" look wide angled lenses are known for? For what I read and understood is that this "wideangle" lens gave the 48mm the bump up to a 35mm lens. So will I get the same result taking pics with this wideangle lens than I would taking pics with a normal 35mm lens on any other camera?

None of us will be able to comment on that particular lens set-up, as it's probably quite rare. Generally, add-on lenses are somewhat of a compromise. You get the wider view, but maybe with more than a tad of barrel distortion at the edges of the frame. Shoot through a doorway with the edges near the edge of the frame. If you don't get a bowleg effect, consider yourself lucky. Getting too close to the subject with a wide-angle does give a fishbowl effect. Using a wide to include foreground and to lead the eye into the picture is good technique .Of course, a 35 isn't all that wide, anyway.
